Oceanside

10 things we learned from our beach trip to Oceanside.

1. Sand is not to be mistaken for a lunch item, even though it looks so appealing!




















2. Boogie Boarding on the deck of the beach house is nothing like real boogie boarding! (Cort had the kids convinced that they were pros. We better finish swimming lessons first! PS, Cort is a Saint! I know 2 little boys who pretty much believe that he can walk on water!)
















3. Cousins make great friends!

































4. Smores are especially delicious when roasted on hangers by the ocean after dark!
























5. Oceanside is a great place to take a family picture! (Don't they look CUTE!)




















6. Southern CA has perfect weather for hosting the US Open. AND, cameras ARE allowed during practice rounds of the US OPEN.






















7. Sand castles and Ruby's Diner kidsmeal cars don't build themselves.

























8. 818 Pacific Street is the perfect beach house!



















9. An 8 month pregnant woman can definitely scale this retaining wall because she has yet to purchase herself a camera remote for the group picture. (At least my forehead vein isn't bulging like it was in the Simmons family photos. What a cheapo. . . huh! It's only 20 bucks!)





















10. In the words of Tyler, "Grandma and Grandpa Hars and Barbs ROCK!" Thanks for all of the work that made a great week!

Looks like you had a blast!!! Don't you just love the beach! We already miss it and want to go back! OK, so we need to have a serious discussion! I mean Jacob! Seriously? This would be a fun one to debate!

Great job on the pictures! I'm very impressed you scaled the retaining wall and made it back in time to be in the picture!! Can't wait to hear about Morgan's arrival!!
